ChainCatcher news, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju stated on social media that although he is not a fan of Memecoins, he believes they have potential value. He compared cryptocurrency exchanges to channels for the influx of internet capital into social spiritual energy; however, currently, Memecoins mainly have a negative impact and have led to criticism of industry leaders such as cryptocurrency exchanges.He further pointed out that the current Memecoin phenomenon is similar to primitive collective consciousness, where these communities operate like shared belief systems, potentially evolving from a "shamanistic movement" into a more structured belief system.Ki Young Ju believes that harmful Meme communities should be rejected, while those that promote positive spiritual energy in Meme culture can be supported. Although Memecoins have limited value at this stage, in the long run, Meme tokens with practical uses and mature systems may emerge.He envisions that in the future, religious organizations, charities, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) may issue Memecoins with social value, providing new social and economic models for internet communities.
